Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 212 Elemental Fist the Size of a Clay Pot
The enormous monk's corpse was still recovering, while Da Bao had already taken action and was embroiled in a battle with the human skin.

Although Da Bao had the upper hand and could tear off a large piece of human skin with a single claw, the amount of human skin was indeed quite considerable.

Fortunately, he was quite efficient; at least he didn't let a piece of human skin get close to Chu Danqing.

Yue Lan Wu Ying then had no chance to make a move.

On the other hand, Zhong Ting's expression showed anxiety.

Why didn't Chu Danqing release the ferocious creature from the shadows to deal with the corpse demon instead of going through all this trouble?

The monk's corpse does need time to recover, but Chu Danqing can't afford to delay any longer.

If I were to kick again after already taking the lead, I would almost certainly break a bone.

At that point, he will be powerless to protect himself.

To think that someone with a limp could leave the Cangmang Ancient Ridge on their own is a bit of a pipe dream.

"Brother Chu, quickly have that ferocious creature in your shadow break open an exit. This monk corpse won't last much longer." Seeing this, Zhong Ting could only urge them on.

He never even considered killing the demon corpse; his only thought was to leave as quickly as possible.

"Mr. Zhong, why are you in such a hurry?" Chu Danqing thought Zhong Ting had something urgent to attend to, but then she saw Da Bao had killed everyone.

Only then did he signal to go and strike the monk's corpse.

Da Bao obediently rushed over. Although the monk's corpse was much larger than him, it was clearly just an empty shell.

He mentally created an equation: Zhong Ting could kick the monk's head off, and he could kill Zhong Ting, so in the end, he could also kill the monk.

Although the logic is not very rigorous, it is theoretically possible to implement it.

For example, activating the killing mode.

"The strange scene is indeed a bit troublesome." Chu Danqing glanced around and saw Da Bao crash directly into the monk's corpse.

The claws, combined with the impact, smashed the still-recovering monk's corpse to pieces.

"Xiao Chu, kill, but don't kill." After smashing the monk's corpse, Da Bao decisively returned to Chu Danqing's side.

It's not that he gave up, but rather that the human skin he tore apart is gradually healing itself.

Chu Danqing also noticed this, but he realized that it was not immortality, but rather a form of repair.

It's essentially about repairing and restoring a damaged puppet.

“Actually, you can, but your strength is still a bit lacking.” After Chu Danqing finished speaking, Yue Lanwuying made her move.

After the totem pole is planted in the ground, the four elements surround it, releasing the suppressed aura and pressure.

Bloodstains appeared on the veins shrouded in the black veil, a consequence of being unable to withstand its oppressive power.

Of all the temporary summons Chu Danqing possessed, Yue Lan Wu Ying was the most rewarding.

Because other summoned creatures can only benefit from the buffs, but Yue Lan Wu Ying is different. It also inherits the number and level of Chu Dan Qing's basic skills and mastery skills.

[Elemental Summoning Mastery LV.3]

[Elemental Language Proficiency LV.3]

[Elemental Manipulation Mastery LV.3] (New)

[Elemental Affinity Mastery LV.3] (New)

[Melee Mastery LV.3] (New)

[Mastery of Martial Arts LV.3]

With six basic skills and six mastered skills, even the Son of Heaven and Yue Lan Wu Ying would have to think twice before taking action.

In other words, Yue Lan Wu Ying suffered from inferior inherited skills and a poor background; otherwise, with the support of 6 basic skills and 6 mastery skills, even the Son of Heaven would not be a match for her.

With the added support of Chu Danqing, the elemental fist, combined with the imposing aura of the king's disdain, slammed into the meridian veil on the Golden Dragon Temple.

A large hole was punched in the gauze, and a lot of bloodstains fell out.

The remaining veins and thin gauze began to wither, while the recovery of the human skin and the monk's corpse gradually slowed down until they stopped moving completely.

The human skin withered, and the monk's corpse was completely scattered, no longer gathering together in a way that defied the laws of physics as before.

“He’s not dead yet,” Chu Danqing said.

He hasn't even received the reward yet, so how could it be considered death?

Yue Lan Wuying turned around and her gaze fell on the Buddha statue sitting cross-legged in the main hall.

An elemental surge crashed into the hall, using the momentum to leap towards the Buddha statue's head.

The fist, as big as a clay pot, slammed into the Buddha statue's head, smashing it to pieces.

The Buddha statue began to crack from the head, and a large amount of rotten flesh and bones burst out.

This clearly shows that someone deliberately filled a large number of corpses into the Buddha statue as its internal flesh and blood, ultimately causing Jinlong Temple to turn into a corpse demon.

After the battle, a treasure chest appeared in the center of the main hall, which was filled with blood and filth.

Chu Danqing noticed that the appearance of the treasure chest was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

He had only ever seen three types of treasure chests: ordinary, excellent, and destiny.

The form of the Destiny Treasure Chest is not fixed; it mainly depends on the object from which it drops.

So this is a high-quality treasure chest.

It seems that only C-rank or higher missions can drop Excellent-grade treasure chests, and lower-rank missions will only drop Superior-grade treasure chests.

Yue Lan Wuying brought it back and handed it over to Chu Danqing.

On the other side, Zhong Ting saw the Corpse Demon killed so easily. His eyes revealed three parts shock, three parts confusion, three parts doubt, and the remaining part a complex mixture of the three.

He finally understood why the other person was standing there so calmly.

Chu Danqing also saw Zhong Ting's gaze; it was the first time he had ever seen such a clear-cut expression.

'As expected of a master-level commander, I can actually read their eyes.' Chu Danqing was also shocked. He didn't have this ability before, but after acquiring the mastery of commander, his ability to read people's expressions naturally improved significantly.

"Brother Chu, your bodyguard is truly extraordinary."

“No wonder he dared to go to the tomb of Prince Yuanping alone.” Zhong Ting also realized his lapse in composure, quickly composed himself, and then smiled.

"It's alright, it's alright," Chu Danqing said politely.

If someone compliments you, you can't just go along with what they say.

People are most likely to leak information when they are complacent and self-satisfied.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer, let's leave as soon as possible." Zhong Ting also noticed Chu Danqing's thoughts, so he changed the subject.

Kinryuji Temple had an extremely strong odor because of the corpse demon.

Moreover, it was getting dark, and they needed to find a place to stay as soon as possible; they absolutely could not spend the night in the wilderness of Cangmang Guling.

This taboo was told to him by his senior master when he arrived.

Although his senior brother did not help them in the matter of Jinlong Temple, there were no problems in other aspects.

“My senior master once said that there is a mountain cave about two miles away from Jinlong Temple.”

“He spent the night there. It’s not dark yet, so we still have time to get there,” Zhong Ting said.

The last time his senior apprentice came, he definitely had to stay overnight.

Sensing something amiss at Kinryu-ji Temple, they didn't linger, but instead found a safer place nearby.

Chu Danqing naturally nodded in agreement.

As the saying goes, "He who listens to advice will eat his fill," and Zhong Ting and he could be considered to be in the same boat.

It's unlikely that the other party would betray you.

Zhong Ting first determined the direction, and then took Chu Danqing with him.

As dusk fell and the temperature began to drop, the wind seemed to carry a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Some lurking ferocious creatures also gradually become active as night approaches.

Zhong Ting was also a little impatient, and even increased his speed by three points.

Fortunately, they finally arrived at the cave before dark.

“My senior master is quite reliable when it comes to making a living,” Zhong Ting breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Danqing then took out fuel and a heater to start a fire for warmth.

The temperature difference between day and night is at least twenty degrees Celsius.

Aside from geographical factors, extraordinary factors likely played a major role.

After the light and heat dispelled the darkness and cold, Zhong Ting felt much more relaxed.

Chu Danqing took out some of the food and began to cook it.

Even if he doesn't eat, Zhongting and Dabao still need food.

While cooking, Chu Danqing opened two excellent-grade treasure chests and one fine-grade treasure chest.

[You have opened: Treasure Chest (Excellent), and received: Blood Sludge, Paradise Points x500]

[You have opened: Treasure Chest (Excellent), obtained: Death Insect Liquid, Paradise Points x900]

[You have opened: Treasure Chest (Fine Grade), obtained: Corpse Monk Relic, Paradise Points x2600]

Chu Danqing's face turned green when he saw it.

These three are all materials. The first two are for making potions and food, while the superior-grade Corpse Monk Relic is slightly better and is used as equipment and props.

Chu Danqing glanced at it and then tossed it into her storage space.

If he had summoned undead or ghostly creatures, they would be quite useful.

For example, it can be allocated as resources for cultivation, etc.

However, there's no shortage of sellers, as there are quite a few apostles who raise corpses and ghosts.

Of course, even some apostles with bloodlines or races related to undead knights or skeleton mages will make purchases.

They usually use it for their own purposes.

The park has a large population and is divided into areas, but the search function of Apostle Square covers the entire area.

Apostles of the same rank from other regions can come over; they are not disconnected.

After all, even high-level areas can reach low-level areas by paying a price, so it's naturally unimpeded to travel to areas of the same level.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Ting asked, noticing Chu Danqing's strange expression as she cooked.

"It's nothing, I just feel like life isn't worth living." Chu Danqing sighed.

At least get some equipment for yourself, instead of all this rubbish.

But then I thought, the things that come out of the treasure chests in this trial world are probably all from the underworld.

From the previous Jade Cicada to these Blood Mud, Dead Insect Liquid, and Corpse Buddha Relics, their usage is quite limited.

"Huh?" Zhong Ting was puzzled. Everything was fine just now, so why is it not worth it?

"Let's eat." Chu Danqing didn't intend to explain further to Zhong Ting. After saying that, she ladled a bowl of food from the pot and handed it to Zhong Ting.

Then he handed the pot and spoon to Da Bao.

Zhongting would definitely only have one bowl, but it's reasonable for Dabao, who has a big appetite, to eat a whole pot.

Chu Danqing's soup wasn't just plain water; it had meat, vegetables, and rice in that big bowl.

The workers who do manual labor can eat until they're stuffed.

It's called a bowl, but it's actually a large basin.
